“How do you feel? We feel good.” The spirit at Churchland High School can no longer be labeled “apathetic.” The cheerleaders have added spice and rhythm to -the pep rallies. The cheer ‘Hey Everybody’ causes wild uproars in the form of questionable yells from certain Senior guys to a dance contest held on the gym floor. Asked about the spirit in our school, some students remarked: Lisa Saunders, Senior: “We are more spirited than last year but only at pep rallies and football games. At our school, you work your way up from a quiet freshman to a rowdy senior. Seniors as a rule are loudest.” Jessica Man, Freshman: ‘“Churchland is a pretty spirited school but a lot of people get carried away. The Seniors have the most spirit. The Freshmen are too embarrassed to yell plus we are all scattered out.” Brian Veal, Senior: “The only time veryone is spirited is at pep allies and when we are winning ‘ames. When the team is losing, erybody wants to cut us down. hen we're winning everybody wants to cheer. It’s wrong! People should support us during the good and the bad times or not support us at all.” Demetrius Turner, Senior: “I think our school has a lot of spirit. | love it at the pep rallies especial- ly when Stacey Smith starts ‘jamin’ to the cheer ‘Hey Everybody.” Brian Hinton, Sophomore: ‘We don’t have that much spirit at our school. At least not compared to other schools.” Ronald Levin, Senior: ‘The spirit at Churchland is still waiting to be aroused.” Francisco Hardy, Senior: “The spirit at our school is lacking compared to last year.” Lori Saunders, Senior: “We have more spirit this year than in the past but we have a long way to go.” Larnette Wright, Senior: “The band music really gets me spirited. The whole flag squad gets in the Trucker mood.” Whip it!!! The majorettes “get down” to the beat. SPIRIT 7
